Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a control method and a system for controlling an industrial automation device or industrial process,
  • the invention relates to control systems in which one or more communications are carried out wirelessly for one or more data signals and/or control signals.
  • Process control for industrial automation processes or industrial automation devices is often supervised and regulated by a process control system such as a closed loop control process.
  • a traditional approach in the use of closed loop control is to measure a value of a process output and compare the measured value with a reference value.
  • There are also other objectives of control loop control including set-point regulation, tracking (time- varying reference path) , path following (varying reference independent of time), disturbance attenuation etc.
  • any difference between the measured sensor value and the reference signal is fed into the controller.
  • the controller then in turn sends signals to the actuator so that the reference value is approached.
  • a control loop from the Prior Art is shown in Figure 1.
  • the Prior Art is shown to have a comparator 2, a control unit 4, an actuator 6 and a sensor 8.
  • Sensor 8 measures a value for an output of the process, a dimension for example, and the measured value is sent to comparator 2.
  • Comparator 2 compares the measured value with a reference value, sends the result to control unit 4.
  • Control unit 4 issues a control signal to actuator 6 to reduce the difference between the reference value and the measured output value.
  • Model based control approaches typically use a mathematical or statistical model.
  • An example of model based control may use one or more state equations, of which one may be of the form: dx
  • y g( ⁇ ) where x is the vector of all state variables including time derivatives to any order of x, y is the output vector, u is a vector of the inputs, t is time, f and g are functions representing the system.
  • the traditional closed loop feedback system comprises hard-wired communication links.
  • a disadvantage with hard-wired communication links is that changes in position of any component in the closed loop, such as a sensor or actuator, usually requires a stop in production or an extensive shutdown, especially in the case of analogue wired connections, and/or digital wired connections. Alternatively, such changes have to be delayed until a process shutdown may be programmed.
  • hard wiring may be both expensive to replace and sometimes technically challenging to replace.
  • Wireless communications have been used within industrial systems and standards such as IEEE-802.11 have been shown to be sufficiently robust for many industrial environments. However, wireless communications are more subject to dynamic variations and disturbances than hard-wired or optical networks.
  • a primary aim of the present invention is to provide additional information for use in identifying a control strategy to use to control an industrial automation process.
  • a secondary aim of the present invention is to provide additional information for use in identifying a control strategy to use to control an industrial automation device.
  • Another aim is to provide additional information for use in a process control system to better improve control over the process and/or device.
  • a method for controlling an industrial automation device or process comprising a control unit, at least one actuator and at least one device arranged for wireless communication with said control unit of said process, which comprises determining at least one characteristic of a wireless transmission, statistically processing the at least one characteristic and supplying an estimated value for correction to said control unit, and selecting a control strategy dependent on the value or values of the at least one wireless communication characteristic.
  • a method for controlling an industrial automation device or process by implementing in a control unit of the device or process a control strategy dependent on an optimization of parameters of the communication channel by means of a logical or arithmetic model or process based on any from the list of: rule based model, state estimator, Kalman filter, deductive reasoning.

  • MAC layer medium access control
  • Closed loop control is often carried out by determining an output value from a process and, depending on the objective comparing the measured or otherwise determined value to a reference value.
  • the difference between the reference signal and the measured sensor value is fed into the controller.
  • the controller then in turn sends signals to the actuator so that the reference value is approached.
  • the quantity to be controlled can be the measured output or state, an unmeasured state, or combinations of measured, unmeasured states and the control variable.
  • the method according to an embodiment of the present invention concerns monitoring the wireless communication taking place in a controlled process and feeding back information to the controller, which information may be incorporated in a control action, for example by means of the control algorithm.
  • Information that may be included may be dependent, for example, on: packet loss, delay, delay variance. This means that information may be taken directly for example from one or more communication layers, and trends in the communication parameters can also be included. This information can as well be time-varying.
  • the concept of a comparator includes a comparator that identifies the differences between the desired behavior (for example a reference value, a trajectory, trend or path) and that of the system based on the relevant performance criterion.
  • the comparator and the controller block may be comprised in one and the same module.
  • the principal advantage of the invention is that monitoring of the wireless communication provides additional information that may be used to improve process control, and/or control of one or more industrial automation devices. More information is thus provided to control processes and/or devices without adding dedicated sensors or measuring means, but only by extracting information from existing sources in a new and inventive way, then processing the information, and applying it in a selected way.
